Understanding Your Treatment
The ZO 3-Step Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel protocol developed by ZO Skin Health, founded by dermatologist Dr. Zein Obagi. It’s designed to treat the skin across multiple layers through a structured, three-step process.
The first step removes dead surface cells and prepares the skin for deeper penetration. The second step delivers active treatment ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin, targeting pigmentation, stimulating cell turnover, and improving overall skin quality. The third step supports the skin’s recovery by reducing irritation and reinforcing the healing response.
Together, the three steps address uneven tone, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, dullness, fine lines, and early signs of ageing. After treatment, the skin undergoes a controlled peeling process over three to seven days as the damaged outer layers shed and healthier skin is revealed underneath.
Because this is a medical-grade protocol, it is significantly more potent than anything available over the counter and is performed under physician supervision. It’s a structured, predictable treatment with consistent, clinically validated results, well suited to patients who want a meaningful skin reset rather than a surface-level improvement.
Every treatment at Springs Body Sculpting is performed under the oversight of Dr. Dunham and our team of board-certified surgeons and trained estheticians, bringing extensive experience in cosmetic procedures to every session.
The ZO 3-Step Peel is one of the most consistent and predictable peels available. Patients know exactly what to expect from both recovery and results, which makes it easy to integrate into a long-term skin plan.
Dark spots, uneven patches, and dullness build up over years of sun exposure and can leave your complexion looking tired and weathered. The ZO 3-Step Peel targets excess pigment and lifts away damaged surface cells, revealing brighter, more even-toned skin.
Rough patches, congestion, and enlarged pores can keep your skin from looking as smooth and refined as you’d like. This peel resurfaces and renews the skin at a deeper level, refining texture and minimising the appearance of pores.
Fine lines and early signs of aging surface as your skin’s natural renewal slows over time. The ZO 3-Step Peel stimulates collagen production and fresh cell turnover, softening lines and restoring a firmer, more youthful glow.
Stubborn breakouts and the marks they leave behind can be difficult to clear with skincare alone. This peel exfoliates deeply and helps regulate the skin, calming active acne while smoothing scarring for a clearer, healthier complexion.

Our team will evaluate your skin and determine if the ZO 3-Step Peel is right for your goals. All our treatment protocols are customized and tailored per patient, utilizing our strategic and methodical approach to create comprehensive stacked plans that are results-driven as opposed to being “sales”-driven. Comprehensive treatment plans are complete overarching, and often “stacked” protocols, where we focus on the end-result as the main goal upon completion. We strategically combine tailored methods of various treatments to work in symbiosis with one another to achieve the overall desired result.
